I was going to write up a lengthy discussion about this leak and how unfeasible and difficult it would be to cultivate Trump for five years, but I think it goes without saying this would have been a longshot at best for Russia.

The one question I have though, is why would a former British spy feel the need to go to McCain with this information? Wouldn't he feel more comfortable going directly to the U.S government or his own British colleagues?

It's the Political Class as a behind the scenes power structure fighting to maintain itself.

CNN reported that a former Mi5 or Mi6 agent had sources in the FSB and that is how this information was originally obtained. This agent was known to be credible so this is why U.S agents took it seriously.
